In order to be able to exercise my parliamentary control function as a Member of the European Parliament, I have the opportunity to put questions to the European Commission. The Commission must answer these questions. Question for written answer E-004414\/2019 to the Commission<\/p>\n\n\n\n Subject: <\/strong> Questions on the use of EU aid to Greece and Italy in the field of asylum following the European Court of Auditors' report No 24\/2019 <\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n <\/p>\n In its audit report of 13 November2019 on the European Union's support to Greece and Italy in the area of asylum, the European Court of Auditors pointed to a significant discrepancy between the stated objectives and the results achieved, in particular with regard to urgent resettlement and lengthy asylum procedures The funds provided by the EU appear to be inappropriately distributed, leading to inhumane living conditions in the hotspots<\/p>\n E-004414\/2019 (04.03.2020) The Commission cannot agree with the conclusions of the Honourable Members on Report No 24\/2019 of the European Court of Auditors of 13 November 2019 and refers to its written opinion on specific points of the report[1]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n While the\nmanagement of external borders and asylum procedures is primarily the responsibility of the\nresponsibility of the Member States, the support of the\nCommission and EU agencies since 2015 has been crucial to the\nimproving migration management in Greece and Italy. <\/p>\n\n\n\n As stated in the\nCommission's response, the hotspot approach has contributed to the\nregistration, identification and security screening of migrants in the most difficult and\ndifficult and constantly changing circumstances. The\nRedistribution of refugees from Greece and Italy (involving\n25Member States), which has resulted in nearly 100% of those eligible for resettlement being\neligible and registered for resettlement were resettled,\nwas a sign of European solidarity[2]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nCommission is now better equipped to provide operational and financial\nsupport to Member States under pressure and has provided unprecedented support to\nprovided unprecedented support to Greece and Italy[3]<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The\nCommission agrees with the recommendations of the ECA in its report and is already\nis already working on their implementation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n With the deployment of officials from the European Border and Coast Guard Agency (Frontex), the Commission is supporting a flexible combination of permanent and mobile teams to cover disembarkations efficiently.[4]<\/a>. The staff of the European Asylum Support Office (EASO) has been significantly reinforced since 2015 and will be increased up to 500 staff members in the coming years, provided that the Agency is enlarged in accordance with the proposed Regulation on the Asylum Agency[5]<\/a>. <\/p>\n\n\n\n In order to be able to exercise my parliamentary control function as an MEP, I have the possibility to put questions to the EU Commission. The Commission must answer these questions.
